GB Region
About
About the region
The Engineers Ireland GB Region provides members and prospective members in mainland Britain with a point of contact with Engineers Ireland. We provide opportunities for continuing professional development and networking through talks, visits and events hosted by the GB Region as well as jointly with sister institutions.
We maintain strong links with the third-level institutions in the region including Imperial College London, which plays host each year to a number of our network events.
We have strong links with other professional associations/organisations including the Institution of Civil Engineers
An important part of our role is in the encouragement and guidance of graduate members towards their professional reviews and Chartered Engineer, and we look to provide interview panels for professional reviews.
We seek to identify and celebrate excellence in engineering, and in particular excellent Irish engineers in our region. A highlight of our 2009-10 season was our nomination for, and the conferring in May 2010, of Fellow on three prominent engineers in our region: Tim Chapman, Dervilla Mitchell and Raymond O’Rourke.
This year, our network started a chartership mentoring scheme amongst Irish Engineers based in the UK. By inviting experienced UK-based Engineers Ireland chartered members to mentor younger members who have not yet achieved CEng status, we hope to provide valuable guidance to graduate engineers during the initial stages of their career.
We look forward to seeing as many members and non-members as possible at our events over the course of the 2010-11 season.
